Welcome to the latest edition of "TalentZ," your go-to destination for all things related to cutting-edge marketing & branding strategies and trends. In an era where the Business landscape is constantly evolving, we are thrilled to embark on this journey of knowledge-sharing and innovation with you.

Online advertising is necessary for small and large businesses alike, but small business advertising is decidedly more difficult. Your staff is smaller, and your marketing budgets are smaller too. How do you compete with bigger businesses under the circumstances?

The good news is, with the right strategies in place, you can use online advertising to drive leads, sales, and ROI, no matter what size you are. In this blog, we’ll share some strategies and tips to help you raise brand awareness and grow your business on a small budget.

When thinking about how best to market your small business online, start by asking yourself:

  • What are your customers searching for online?
  • Where and when are they searching for it?
  • How can you differentiate your product from competitors?

Once you answer these questions, you can put an advertising strategy in place to help you reach more people and build your business.

If you’re a small business looking for affordable, achievable online advertising ideas, continue reading!

  • Using online Ads for Small Business Advertising

Online advertising is generally more cost-effective and more effective, period, because you’re able to target your advertising budget at a more select group of people, and closely measure how that audience responds to your advertising. One of the most measurable forms of online advertising is paid search marketing, a system that allows you to place advertisements in the search results when people are searching for products or services related to what your business offers. You then pay a small fee to the search engine every time somebody clicks on one of your ads. For this reason, paid search marketing is also known as PPC, or pay-per-click marketing.

  • Build a Website

Customers expect your company to have a website. Not only does a website lend credibility to your business, it’s a great source of information and a space for you to promote products, events and establish yourself as an industry expert. 

  • Create a Google Business Profile

When you search for a company on Google or Google Maps, you’ll likely see their Google My Business page. It’s a free tool that allows you to control how your business appears on Google. It’s especially useful for local businesses who want to appear higher in the search results. You can optimize yours to show phone numbers, address, hours of operation, product pages and more.

  • Create Social Media Accounts

It can be hard to stand out on social media, but it can help you build trust and relationships with your target market. Being present on the big social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, or LinkedIn can help your customers find you and build brand awareness. Decide which social media channels make sense for your business and sign up. Make sure to use consistent branding across all your platforms.

  • Using Bing Ads for Small Business Advertising

Bing has a smaller share of the search engine market than Google, but it’s still used by millions of people every month. That’s millions of people you could be reaching with your advertising! As a bonus for small businesses, Bing Ads also tends to be less costly than Google Ads.

  • Ask For Customer Referrals

You may not think of customer referrals as marketing, but word of mouth has always been a powerful tool for growing businesses. Customer testimonials and high-quality reviews can help your business gain an edge over the competition. A customer referral program can help boost your marketing efforts. You can offer a reward to those who refer new customers, such as free swag, discounts or a free product.
